I have an '04 that I need to buy one of the aluminum 5 spoke sparkle 16 x 7 rims for it since I had a flat, put spare on, them some one promptly stole that one tire and rim. Is there any difference in these rims other than the tpms valve stem, and are they indentical there? Meaning, can I use a rim that came with the tpms in place of a regular rim with a regular valve stem since that is where they both are used for filling up with air??
 






yes you can , the rims are all the same on the inside , one type of tpms wraps around the inside of the rim and most widely called a Band sensor , others bolt or snap into the standard tire valve opening .
 












Your Welcome , I try and help when/where I can , I deal with tpms systems everyday at work - Tire shop lol .
